Oblong bookform
Hello readers,
I've got some stripbooks that are twice as wide as they are high (Oblong) and when I open them in Calibre the pages are displayed in half. I suspect it's got something to do with the textlines underneath the pictures (2 columns on every page) but I don't know how to adjust this. Can anyone help me? |

When I try to read the book I see this:
Then on the next page I see this: And I would like to see this: ..being the whole first page of the book. Did this make it more clear? (I hope the pictures turned out well..) |

Calibre does not convert 2 column into single (full width) well, if at all. As you can see, it is treating a column as a page with the graphic being cropped/chopped. Hand code (edit) time

What did you convert from to get the EPUB? Added : The layout you want maybe better done in Fixed layout ePub 3. I suggest you make a post in the EPUB forum with a link to this thread. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 07-09-2015 at 05:20 PM. |

Thanks for the reactions.
@BetterRed: Originally it was a cbr file, wich I managed to convert into epub before loading it into Calibre. Fixed layout ePub 3 looks promising, I'll look into that. |
